McGinn (upper body) will not return for Thursday's matchup against the Sabres, Joe Yerdon of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn's upper-body ailment will hold him out for a second straight contest Thursday. The Panthers will roll with the same lineup as they did Tuesday, with Maxim Mamin again drawing in for him. McGinn's next opportunity to return to action arrives Saturday when the team returns home to face the Red Wings.

McGinn (upper body) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Islanders, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn has had just one goal and a minus-4 rating in eight games since the calendar turn, but he dished out 14 PIM and 20 hits in that span. The veteran winger was expected to suit up Tuesday, but it appears he'll get a couple extra days of rest with a Thursday night matchup against the Sabres on the horizon.

McGinn (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game against the Capitals, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of McGinn's ailment has yet to be determined, but the Panthers don't play again until Tuesday against the Islanders due to the upcoming all-star break, so he may be able to avoid missing any further action. Florida should release an update on the 29-year-old winger's status in the coming days.

McGinn opened up the scoring early on in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Vegas.

EDGE Analysis

It was McGinn's first goal since Dec. 12 and sixth this season. The 29-year-old winger doesn't find himself on the scoresheet too often and averages just over 13 minutes of ice time per game. He won't have much fantasy relevance moving forward.

McGinn (upper body) will return to the lineup against the Flyers on Thursday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn returns following a two-game stint on the sidelines and appears to have benefitted from the holiday break. Prior to getting hurt, the winger had notched four points in his previous eight outings. While his production level isn't terrible for a bottom-six role player, it's important to note he registered a mere six shots on goal over that stretch, which limits his chances to put one in the back of the net.

McGinn (upper body) will not play Saturday against the Senators, Matthew DeFranks of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn was scratched just before the opening faceoff Friday and coach Bob Boughner labeled him day-to-day after the contest. The extent of his injury remains unclear, but the winger's next opportunity to draw in arrives Thursday against the Flyers. Connor Brickley draws into the lineup in his place again Saturday.

McGinn (upper body) is day-to-day with his injury, according to Panthers coach Bob Boughner, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

For what it's worth, Olive doesn't believe McGinn has a concussion given that the winger was able to take warmups ahead of Friday's game against the Wild. Either way, since the Cats play again Saturday night (facing the Flyers at home), one can expect a rather quick turnaround in terms of McGinn getting checked out further. The journeyman has scored five times to complement eight assists through 34 games this season, which isn't all that bad when you consider he only averages 13:43 of ice time.

McGinn was officially scratched from Friday's lineup due to an upper-body injury, Jameson Olive of Fox Sports Florida reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn was a late scratch from Friday's lineup, and now the reason behind his absence has been revealed. Olive indicated that he will attempt to get an update on the winger after the contest, at which point more clarification on his situation and his potential availability for Saturday's game against the Senators may be revealed.

McGinn has been announced as a late scratch from Friday's game against the Wild, Matthew DeFranks of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn took part in warmups ahead of the contest but wound up a late scratch in favor of Connor Brickley. The reason behind his late departure from the lineup has yet to be revealed, but the winger has an opportunity to get back at it Saturday against the Senators if minor.

McGinn found the net with his only shot on goal and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-4 win against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

McGinn had previously gone five games without a point and 12 contests without putting the biscuit in the basket, but made the most out of his 15-plus minutes of ice time Tuesday. While McGinn has shown flashes of potential over his career, inconsistency has prevented the 10-season veteran from establishing himself as a bona fide power forward in the league.
